Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
I picked Alpine instead of Alpha Tauri for my last team pick in the Fantasy league, thinking their good form from the last few races would continue. 
I like the helmet cam it's interesting to see the level of visibility they have
So they're talking about points deductions for any dodgy "accidents" what if theoretically it was Bottas or Perez who "accidentally" took out Max or Lewis? I'm not saying that'll happen but surely points deduction won't matter for them bar for constructors?

I noticed that every F1 champion in the past all have a certain attitude or craziness in them. I haven't seen or heard any humble ones other than Mika Hakkinen.
Q2 should be interesting, rumours are Max will start the race on softs.
Damon Hill always came across as humble to me (I was young at the time though).
I would expect all the front runners will?
Nearly as dizzying as the MUTV academy matches' cameras.
You have to be a bit crazy to even do F1.
I think Max will start on the softs, expecting Merc to be on the medium
Shut up you moron, you know nothing. Both teams on mediums.
Red bull going to go softs - hoping to jump ahead at the start and have set the car up for maximum downforce on the straights and hoping the straight line speed is enough to stop an overtake. That’s my guess. Means they need to be P2 at least…
Hamilton visibly not pushing in Sector 3 on that lap, fundamental pace in that Merc.
Is that Max's race tyres with a massive flat spot !!
That is not good

.
Attack yer post not yerself.
Verstappen's going to have to do another lap if he's flat spotted those mediums. Maybe forced to use softs now?
come on , no need ! Moan at post.
starting on a set with a flat spot is not going to happen is it.
He must be force to use a set of softs.
RB to switch to softs now due to the flat spot ?
Massive blunder by Max there.
10s stop and go for Lewis incoming
Horner moaning Pirelli given Max remoulds yet?
I was not introduced to F1 just yet!
Max coming out with soft, will they be his race start set ?
Soft it is!
so Max starts on softs, should make turn 1 interesting with Lewis on mediums, but no way was that the plan by Red Bull.
Crofty making out that this was their plan all along
What do RB do tomorrow now? Softs to start and 1 stop onto hards?
You’d think Merc will be running longer in that first stint and therefore have better tyres at the end

Knocked out in Q2
McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo squeaks into Q3 at the last at the expense of Fernando Alonso in the Alpine.
That means the final Q2 drop zone reads:
11) Fernando Alonso, Alpine
12) Pierre Gasly, AlphaTauri
13) Lance Stroll, Aston Martin
14) Antonio Giovinazzi, Alfa Romeo
15) Sebastian Vettel, Aston Martin

“Stay out of his way” will be Lewis’ plan into turn 1, I’m sure
Red Bull forced to throw the dice.
Gives Max a better chance to drive Hamilton of the track in the first stint. Strategically, of course.
Anything that gives Max track position worries me, because getting past him is going to be risky.
Max is on the backfoot for the race really, I don’t think they planned to run softs for the first stint.
I would say one stop yes.Crofty making out that this was their plan all along

How long will the softs last ?
RB have essentially already taken the 1st pit stop undercut with this choice, because if Mercedes tries to pit earlier than RB it negates their tyre advantage.Crofty making out that this was their plan all along

I think It was their plan all along. They would always leave it to the last with it looking like he’d back out as always if they were going to do it. Button called it in FP3. Max has to get on the front of the grid for this to work.

Max is probabky confident... fresh tyres won't help much with a brake check
